What More Can I do?

That's pretty much it really. I think I'm getting to the desperate stage. I'm getting married in July. I have my dress fitting in 3 weeks which is the deadline for major alterations. I've dropped about 3 stone since mid-January through low carbing, I exercise 4-5 times a week (running, Shred, intervals), I'm now at just over 11 stone, 5'6 and struggling to get any more off. Basically, I want to get in my damn dress. It doesn't fit. It's too small on the bust/waist. What more can I do? Specifically looking at short term quick fix not long a I've lost over 9 stone since the start of my journey so I know I can do it.

Yes, buy a bigger dress or pay for it to be altered are both options. Yes, I know I'm a mug for buying it too small. I'm just sat here in tears because I can't do the damn thing up despite everything. So. What can I do?

Wow, well done on your loss so far- amazing!! How much in lbs do you think you need to lose in the 3 weeks? Can you double the excercise you do? I find that long runs and double / triple gym classes really knock the weight off.

Also a have you tried those weight loss wrap things? I think they're v short term but could be worth doing morning before fitting??
